Buddhism differs from Confucianism & Taoism in that it is an import into China & Asia in general. Confucianism & Taoism are from China. Taoism is all about man's relationship with nature; Confucianism is all about man's relationship with his fellow man. Buddhism is about seeking enlightenment. Taoism & Buddhism are both polytheistic; Confucianism is monotheistic(in a Deistic kind of way).
the two energy forces for taoism are nature and simplicity.
Taoism which points to the path of enlightenment is based on the teachings of Laozi. There is some question over whether Laozi actually existed. However, he allegedly authored the great work "The Tao Te Ching' which is the foundation of Taoism and dates back to the fourth century.
Some influences of Taoism include the belief in harmony with nature, the practice of simplicity and humility, seeking balance and moderation in all aspects of life, and focus on inner peace and enlightenment. Taoism has also influenced Chinese art, literature, medicine, and martial arts.
Some fast facts about Taoism include that it was founded in China by Lao-Tze. According to Taoism, the purpose of life is inner harmony and peace.
There is a story about a Chinese monk who was reputed to be very wise. One day, he was carrying a heavy sack when he was stopped by a novice seeker, eager to learn his secrets. "What did enlightenment mean to you?" asked the novice. The older monk put down the sack he was carrying, and smiled. "And how did you put it into practice?" asked the novice. The older monk picked up the sack and went on his away. This is not a story from Taoism - Taoism does not have the concept of 'enlightenment - but the lesson is clear, I think?
